What would likely happen if you either bring into CA a new non-ban m4 and are caught with it....or if you have a pre-ban and claim you have had it for years and never "registered" it as required? I know you would likely lost the rifle, but would they actually charge you with a crime? What is the best way around this? And please dont just say move out of state...LOL. Thanks |
| don't do it. even if you bought the rifle legaly in california before the ban you are a criminal if you did not register it or send it out of state never to return. the best way around the law is to move out of state or forget about owning a california assault rifle. THERE IS NO LOOPHOLE WITH THIS LAW. worst case you will be a fellon best case it will be a misdermeaner and you will still loose ALL of your guns. |
| I vaguely remember reading that AR ownership in California is a misdermeaner only if you have NO prior convictions (gun related or not). The gun is lost, fined, and possible jail time along withe other actions taken against you. That is the BEST case scenario, so obviously don't do it. As for "I forgot to register it" or anything like that, you are out of luck. It's just like the SKS with a detachable magazine issue.... |
